Another Month, Another Hot Flash

And, since it’s Friday Recommends day, I have two recommendations for you:

Join the April A-to-Z Blog Challenge, or at least click on the badge to the right in my sidebar and visit some of the blogs participating.

Read or reread Nathaniel Hawthorne’s THE SCARLET LETTER. You can download a digital copy FREE here at Project Gutenberg. If you’ve only ever read the book under compulsion because it’s a clllaaaaaasssic, read it again because it’s a freaking good read. Guess which letter was scarlet? Now let’s not always see the same hands….

WRITING PROMPT: Write a page about a character you invent or one you already have who is suffering for some guilt he or she shares with somebody else who doesn’t seem to be paying any price.

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky, but now live in the woods in southern Indiana. Though I only write fiction, I love to read non-fiction. The more I learn about this world, the more fantastic I see it is.

I love this A to Z challenge. Otherwise, I don’t think I would have found you.

I’ve found a lot of good classics on Gutenberg. I read the Scarlet Letter years ago, and once wrote a paper on it. I love Hawthorne. Thanks for reminding me.Ann Best would love to share..A is for Abluvion

I’d forgotten all about The Scarlett Letter. What a great pick for today. Nice post.

Contrary to my usual practice of subscribing to comments, to save time during challenge I will not be doing so during April. If you want to respond to my comment , please email me directly from your email notification for the comment.
Thanks.

I reread The Scarlet Letter not so long ago in preparation for Colorado author Paula Reed’s novel Hester (which, by the way, was a really good read). This is a fun “A” post.Patricia Stoltey would love to share..B is for Belgian Trappist Beer

Welcome to my site!

I've been a writer since I could think, and a cook since I was in middle school. I'm also an inveterate this-and-thatter. So this blog, which is supposed to be professional, kind of isn't. I blog about anything I damn well please. Oh--and food. Don't forget the food.
